Bi-folding security gates in Helensburgh: what will it cost?
Budget £954 to £2,634 including VAT (£795 to £2,195 plus VAT) per opening for bi-folding security gates in Helensburgh, supplied and fitted. Size, number of leaves, colour and access all move the price, which is fixed in writing after the survey.
A bi-folding security gate is made of hinged leaves of vertical bars that fold against each other as they slide along a top track. It covers wide openings like a retractable grille but folds into fewer, flatter panels with no scissor lattice.
What you can specify
- Black, anthracite and RAL colours
- Mesh or solid infill panels on request
- Top-hung on a heavy track with bottom guides
- Neat folded stack for receptions and showrooms
- Suits openings from a single door width to several metres
- Lock box on the leading leaf plus shoot bolts

Getting the right bi-fold gate for your building
Floor guide
A bottom guide keeps the leaves aligned. Recessed guides keep the floor flush.
Look
Bi-folds read as a screen rather than a lattice, which suits modern interiors.
What the rules say in Scotland
Grilles across exits in business premises
In Scotland, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 make the duty holder keep escape routes and exits available and easy to open while people are present. A grille across an exit should be open whenever the premises are occupied.
Grilles inside the glass
A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission in Scotland, as it does not materially change the outside of the building. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.
